LinuxQuestions.org - Konica Minolta magicolor 2430dl always "busy"

I set up my brand new color laser printer as a networked printer using Windows 2k pro. (I chose it because linuxprinting.org recommended it.) I was able to print a test page. Now I want to set it up for Fedora Core 3. I followed the explicit instructions in the reference guide provided by Minolta--to a point.

When I first set it up, I accidently reversed 168 and 192 (Do'h). I went back in and modified this. When that didn't work, I deleted the printer and started over. I can ping 192.168.2.200 and the printer responds just fine, but no test page ever prints. It just sits there in the queue. The green ready light on the printer blinks and the display says "energy saving".

Here are the settings according to the CUPS html page when I click on "Manage Printers":

Description: minolta
Location: 192.168.2.200
Printer State: processing, accepting jobs.
"Network host '192.168.2.200' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds..."
Device URI: socket://192.168.2.200:9100

Another potential problem is 192.168.2.200 is a dynamically assigned IP address, but I'll cross that bridge later. (I'd like to be able to turn the thing off most of the time. This could be a problem if another computer grabbed the printer's IP address while it was powered down.)
